title: Language stimulation group. Habilitation model.
abstract: Bloom's model of normal language development is reviewed in relation to clinical practice and is then expanded to account for disordered development. Four primary and four secondary assessment areas are then considered: language, cognition, motor, and affective development and nonverbal symbolic skills, attentional skills, social development, and physical-medical integrity. Finally, a way of integrating this evaluative information into the model of normal development is discussed and a sample curriculum is outlined.
